Great upgrades!!!! I think the older (mine is a 2020) had tuners where the shaft and the clover leaf would not come as easily apart. I had a SBMM SR that had a similar issue that you had. The "fork" loosened and the clover leak was ready to fall out. I agree on the "volume boost" I really...

Mine is 7 pounds 11.5 ounces FYI. December 2020 build month.

I saw this amp in a nice YouTube video and was curious about it. Now my interest is severely diminished based on the loud fan issue. What a shame. Very annoying. Great job to all the tinkerers in the thread who made their amp work for their requirements and provided valuable insight to...

Jumping in to this thread. A few months ago I picked up a sweet SBMM SS in Dropped Copper for only $380. Manufactured December 2020 per an email I got from Sterling. It's a lot of fun to play and it sounds terrific. It joins my EBMM SR Special which I love. I am on the look out for a used...

As much as I have enjoyed this pedal, it has been eclipsed by the HX Stomp for me. I know it's apples and oranges but the sounds and tones I get out of the HX Stomp are more to my liking. I still love the sounds it gives you for Chris Squire / Geddy Lee songs.

My first and only fretless is unlined. MIJ Fender Jazz.

Cool. I just found it. It's a CA model I see. How is that without the body contours? The back scoop etc.

Cool! Any pics?

I thought the SBMM short scale in that nice blue was great! Lots of fun to play.

That's too bad! I will keep my eyes out for sure.

So I picked up a SBMM Ray 34 and really dig it. It's a lot of fun. I also have a Fender Jazz MIJ fretless. Also lots of fun!!! Does SBMM produce fretless basses currently? I remember seeing one on here in an old post (SOLD - Fretless SBMM Ray34).

I played the Sterling Stingray short scale at GC. Pretty cool.

Thanks for all the excellent feedback. I am going to keep my eye on the local used market to try and secure a deal.

I am considering picking up a keyboard style amp (like a Roland KC-350 for example) to use at my buddy's place (he's the drummer). It has a bunch of inputs which works for flexibility. Since I already have a Tech 21 DI pedal (dUg Pinnick) I would think this would work nice. My current SWR...

My absolute favorite era of JT. Soooooo good. Barry Barlow on drums. John G. was great.
